Experts have debunked popular dental myths and shed light on the real facts behind maintaining optimal dental hygiene
Experts have busted some common myths about dental hygiene, including the belief that mouthwash can replace brushing and that sugar is the only cause of cavities. These misconceptions can lead to people neglecting their oral health.
This leaves them unable to heal properly and they become inflamed. Serious issues like oral cancer are also linked to smoking. MYTH 4: Brushing harder leaves teeth cleaner Brushing your teeth too hard can actually make them worse, especially if your toothbrush has hard bristles. Just like acidic foods, brushing too hard can wear down the enamel on your teeth and increase your risk of tooth decay.
MYTH 5: Mouthwash can replace brushing and flossing occasionally Mouthwash is a good addition to oral care, but it can't take the place of brushing and flossing. It often misses bits of food and doesn't have enough fluoride, which is really important for strong tooth enamel. Any change to enamel is permanent, leading to increased tooth sensitivity and changed tooth structure, which can already be a problem for smokers.
